Hi everyone 

new here . So my mum went in for a routine scan on her kidneys last week, today the doctor hs rang her and said they found a mass on her liver . Spine . Stomach, bowel and bladder , she's so positive about it , whereas me .... I feel like my world is about to cave right in, I feel like the walls are closing in on me .... they have fast tracked her for cameras and another MRI, I feel so selfish for crying and thinking the worst , but I just can't ce positive as I'm such a realist , I feel like I can't be around my mum right now as I just want to hold her tight and never let her go, what do I do to be there for her , I've only ever lost my nan & grandad and they were in their 90's , but my mum is my absolute everything

    So sorry to hear your news.

     

    I am currently going through the rollercoaster that is cancer so can only tell you from that side.

    Me personally I feel better if people are positive, i know it cant be easy but until you know exactly whats happening i think you have to hope for the best.

    I dont know enough about other cancers only my own so cant offer many words of wisdom, but hope is what we have.

    And im hoping that you find the right way to approach things theres no right or wrong everyone is different but being there is the key.

    Sending my best

    I'm so sorry to hear this and I understand , the best advice I can give you is to let your mum lead you, try to be positive with her and optimistic ,I know that's incredibly hard !! And you will have your moments around her but try to let it all out in private or speak to others away from mum. Cause underneath she will be scared and probably her positivity she's trying to protect you. Wishing you both healing and comfort xx
